Description
A blue-ribbon, all-purpose peach!
Redhaven Peach trees produce luscious, top-quality fruit. This popular variety is known for being a top producer of medium-sized peaches. Fragrant, pink flowers blossom in the spring. When the fruit ripens in July, you’ll enjoy bushels of sweet peaches with almost fuzzless skin over firm, creamy-textured yellow flesh. These freestone peaches are great as a fresh snack or for canning and freezing.
Redhaven is heavy-bearing and easy to grow and maintain. The branches have a spreading nature, and this variety is disease-resistant to leaf spot. It is a self-pollinating fruit tree, making it great for smaller gardens and backyard orchards. Since this tree is so vigorous, we recommend regular pruning and thinning.
This peach tree originates from South Haven, Michigan in 1930, and was introduced in 1940.

Questions & Answers
What is causing these issues?
I think it might be 2 separate pest or diseases
I think the goop would be from peachtree borer. I use permethrin around the trunk
I have had great success against peach leaf curl by spraying once the tree is dormant in the fall, and again in late winter (late January-mid February) with a 10% bleach/water solution. That has worked better than the anti-fungals that I tried previously.
If the blossoms are open I wouldn't spray. Even after pollination I'd spray either early morning or late evening to avoid hitting any bees. I believe neem oil is toxic to bees only if its sprayed directly on them. Good luck.
I have a Redhaven starting it's 2nd year too. From everything I've read, you don't want your tree to bear fruit this early because you want to favor the growth of the tree. I don't think there is any harm in enjoying the blooms and then just pinching off any fruit that forms. That is what I am doing anyway. The real danger from the fruit, I think, comes from the strain its weight would put on the thin branches anyway. Good luck!
Yes, it has grown to about 12 feet tall,, and is now heavy with fruit, which we are looking forward to enjoying if the squirrels leave us any.
I just put 3 Red Havens in the grown; they have lots of buds. I read where the do great in our zone 8B, I also am in Mobile AL.
In all honesty we haven’t sprayed at all—just pick off the bugs in the morning while wandering around with a cup of coffee.

We planted our peach tree in August in zone 6 and it wintered over well and started getting leaves in March of following year.. if you planted in spring I would think you would have leaves within a couple months of planting. Give plenty of water once chance of freeze has past.
The trees were all decently branched out and would have borne fruit this year
if I hadn't snipped them off to concentrate on growth.
Customer Reviews
I can them.
I make peach jam, cobblers, and pies
Those whom I share these with love them.
Planting was straightforward thanks to the helpful instructions provided. After just a few weeks in the ground, I'm already seeing signs of life with little buds forming. The tree looks strong and healthy, and I'm optimistic for a great growing season.
This is my first bare root tree, and Stark Bros made the experience easy and stress-free. Looking forward to juicy peaches in the future!
